Supernova! The deaths of ancient stars gave birth to new elements through nuclear fusion, and those elements in turn became the building blocks of our planet and all life upon it.
As Carl Sagan said, we are all "Star stuff".

Loose interpretation, loose illustration. I was feeling very 'loose' when doing this, as you can tell. I'm not even sure if it'll fly, since it's very...abstractly astronomical, but I can try. And rhyme, apparently. I guess I was sort of thinking about what would happen if you applied the old 'tortoise and hare' story to something like... you know, making the universe...galaxy...world, with the hare rushing to make as many as he could and the tortoise carefully crafting just a few. Like earth or something. Is your heart warm and fuzzy yet?

Something something 'earth is on the back of a giant turtle' something something inspired by Watership Down somewhere with the rabbit gods with star eyes maybe a little, something something I am SO UNBELIEVABLY CHEESY I KNOW, SHUTTING UP FOREVER NOW.

Well! I wanted to make something like a sequel to family portrait (not so soon…but the derby theme is too appealing…), so I kept the spirit of that previous design. It’s a pity that the image is so small, you can’t see the different situations…that’s why here you have a detailed view of each one! Hope you like it!:D

One of the concepts to come out of General Relativity was the idea that the warping of space time due to massive stellar objects could bend light. This came to be known as Gravitational Lensing, and is a useful tool for discovering black holes and other massive objects.

In an attempt to avoid debate over the correlation between astronomy and pi, my design itself intends to illustrate the mystery of the Great Pyramid. I included both the position of the of the pyramids on the Giza plateau in respect to Orion's Belt, and the symbol of pi, proposed as a gift from the heavens.

It's an imaginative approach to history, but hey... it's so fun to think.

Believed to be constructed around 100 BC, the Antikyther Mechanism is history's oldest known computer, designed to calculate the position of the Sun and Moon, as well as other astronomical information, all upon input of a given date.

Space-time theory posits that space and time are not as independent of each other as one may suspect. By combining the two into one continuum we (and by ‘we’ I mean people much smarter than me) can understand the universe much better.
